Chenxi and I covered a lot of ground, including:

• When we discuss AI for Cybersecurity, it is usually divided into two categories: AI for Cybersecurity and Securing AI. Chenxi and I walk through the potential for each and which one she finds more interesting at the moment.

• Chenxi believes LLMs are fundamentally changing the nature of software development, and the industry's current state seems to support that. We discussed what this means for Developers and the cybersecurity implications when LLMs and Copilots create the majority of code and applications.

• LLMs and GenAI are currently being applied to various cybersecurity areas, such as SecOps, GRC, and AppSec. Chenxi and I unpack which areas AI may have the greatest impact on and the areas we see the most investment and innovation in currently.

• As mentioned above, there is also the need to secure AI itself, which introduces new attack vectors, such as supply chain attacks, model poisoning, prompt injection, and more. We cover how organizations are currently dealing with these new attack vectors and the potential risks.

• The biggest buzz of 2025 (and beyond) is Agentic AI or AI Agents, and their potential to disrupt traditional services work represents an outsized portion of cybersecurity spending and revenue. Chenxi envisions a future where Agentic AI and Services-as-a-Software may change what cyber services look like and how cyber activities are conducted within an organization.
